Glass Fibres - Types. Manufacturing, Market and Applications (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533607041)

Winding coarse glass fibers onto a clay mandrel was used as an early manufacturing route for a vessel. With the advent of glass blowing, similar fiber technologies were used to decorate goblets.Glass fibers are used in a number of applications which can be divided into four basic categories: (a) insulations, (b) filtration media, (c) reinforcements, and (d) optical fibers.
